I've been a Type II for about ten years and it hasn't really affected my cycling. Now, advancing age, that's another issue. I take meds twice a day and insulin in the evening before bed. When I ride, if longer than several hours, I make sure I take a few snacks in a jersey pocket. And water. Haven't ever used electrolytes, but I sure do drink a lot when I get back.
On my feet, I've always ridden with toe clips in the old days and went clipless when they became available. My shoes are pretty tight, so I don't really notice any foot pain. I can't ride if I'm not clipped in, so I really don't need to worry about where my foot is on a pedal.
